SUMMARY
The women of the Victorian Era had the legal rights, similar to the children's. The women of the Victorian Era had very limited rights and limited education. Women's education included drawing, dancing, cooking, and other skills necessary to become a perfect suitor. Women's role was to give birth to a child, and to house works. The women of the Victorian Era was very family-centered. The basic idea of this family-centered women came from the Queen Victoria. Because the women were so family-centered, women had to run to cook for her husband, and women had to sacrifice their time for her family. Therefore, the women in the Victorian Era, lived a fairly unfair life compared to men.
